About this product

Slip-Lid Caddy Tins

This is the tin people actually want on a worktop: a clean cylinder or a square caddy with a lid that lifts straight off, easy to open one-handed while holding a kettle.

It is not airtight and we will not say it is. The lid slips over a shoulder with a small clearance, which is exactly what makes it pleasant to use and exactly what stops it sealing. For a caddy that gets refilled every few weeks from a foil pouch, that is completely fine and arguably the right design.

Where it goes wrong is when a brand ships loose tea in one as the only packaging and the customer opens it three months later. If that is your use case, buy the gasketed version and keep this one for the gift line.

FAQ

Slip-Lid Caddy Tins: quick answers

What is the minimum order for slip-lid tea caddies?

Minimum order is just 12 — with bulk pricing tiers as quantities grow.

How fast will my order arrive?

Your free mockup lands within 24 hours and the finished order ships in about 2 weeks — express turnaround is available for tight dates.

Can we ship loose tea in a slip-lid tin?

You can, and we would rather you did not without a sealed inner. The clearance that makes a slip lid nice to use is the same clearance that lets air in. Either put a foil sachet inside it or move to a gasketed lid.

Why is a slip lid so much nicer to use?

Because it comes off in one movement with one hand, which matters when the other hand is holding a kettle. A gasketed lid needs a firmer pull and a deliberate push to reseat. Both are correct designs for different jobs.
